“It takes two to tango” — this famous statement can never go out of context especially when it comes to love, relationships and marriage. Why? Because marriage needs both people to practice and work together to allow it to last and make it healthy. However, before establishing this, you need to make sure that you also have to establish good rapport within yourself before you start to commit. You need to let go of those things you keep within yourself—things that may threaten or ruin your marriage. This means that there are some baggages you need to lose before you get married and here are some of them:

Close-mindedness

In marriage, it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. You need to know that it matters on who gives weight on the opinion of the other person. Carrying this baggage as you enter the married life can be a disaster. Not considering your partner’s opinion would mean that you are belittling your partner or that you do not respect them at all. It could also mean that you are not open to changes within the relationship when, in fact, it is essential for both of you to grow. For instance, when you get to marry a foreign bride, close-mindedness must be tossed outside the window as cultural differences and behavioral variations are highly-anticipated in such union. Hence, if you plan on tying the knot soon, it is empirical that you leave this baggage prior to your flight.

Selfishness

When you get to tie the knot with an Asian womanfor instance, you will soon realize that your future family is given much priority and value. Marriage means great sacrifices for the sake of your family and you will not be able to do this if you always think of yourself first than that of the welfare of your spouse and children; thus, as early as now, you must get this out of your baggage before boarding the plane of marriage.

Egocentrism

Egocentrism is somehow similar, yet contextually different from selfishness. If selfishness means thinking of yourself first regardless of the pressing needs of others, egocentrism is the inability to see other’s perspectives than that of one’s self. Here, you become too self-focused that you cannot view yourself as part of other people’s world; instead, you tend to view people as part of your world. This is a big no for most ladies most especially for Latin womenwho strongly uphold open communication bonds with their partners. This baggage is very detrimental for your marriage if not left out since this means that you cannot see your partner’s needs—that can be too exhausting and painful for your spouse.

Possessiveness

Rather than being possessive who tries to control or dominate your spouse, be someone who is territorial. Being territorial means trying to keep and protect your loved ones. This allows your partner to grow in her own space and be better along with the course of your relationship. As you see, being possessive can make your partner feel choked and imprisoned. Due to this, they strive more of freedom and try to get out from your grasp which may result to infidelity.

Personal Desires

If you are planning to tie the knot, you must also be ready to give up on your own personal desires because you do not only work hard for yourself but for your partner as well. There is no more “yours” or “mine” because there only exists “us” when it comes to goals. Why? Because the achievement of the other is also your achievement. Establishing this kind of mindset would require you to have common goals in the relationship. Imagine yourself years from now and both of you should work hard on realizing that.

Believing that sexual intercourse will always be fantastic.

Sex is definitely one of the things that couples look forward to upon tying the knot. Most imagine it to be enjoyable and fantastic, but let us face it: every relationship gets boring and that includes sex. Removing this mindset, there will be less disappointment on how things would turn out to be on this aspect. However, it is always up to the couple how they can warm and spice things up in their relationship to make it more exciting than it was in the first time.

What couples need to remember is that marriage is not just like tango that when you get tired, you just stop, or, like gum that when it loses its flavor and turns plain, you just spit it out. Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman; it is a lifetime commitment where certain sacrifices are made and where certain things are reconsidered in order to keep the relationship going. Now, if you are trying to get on board to a lifetime flight of marriage carrying the baggages mentioned above, your plane will crash and it will not just hurt you and your partner individually; it will also hurt the people around you and may ruin the relationship you’re keeping.

Have you ever considered yourself dating someone who has a different culture? A foreign woman to be exact.

Meeting and attracting foreign ladies is not as easy as 1, 2, 3 and A, B, C’s. You need to keep in mind that you should always be patient because the approach that you’re used to may not be as effective as before…

Where do I meet these women?

TRAVEL!

The good thing about traveling is that you will gain new experiences and wonderful opportunities and make unforgettable memories. The best part about traveling is MEETING FOREIGN WOMEN and learning about their culture at the same time. When you travel, make sure you live in an area where there’s a night life, fun activities, and ofcourse a good restaurant. This will make it easier for you to meet the woman of your dreams.

ONLINE DATING, LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT THAT!

There are a lot of dating apps and dating sites wherein you can meet beautiful foreign ladies. These ladies are also looking for the right one, just like you! This is the best and most convenient way to meet cool women in different countries. You just have to create your profile and find your match. A dating site that I’d recommend is Foreign-Affair. It has helped countless of men find the girl of their dreams and most of these men are now happily married. Now, isn’t that amazing?

What should I do?

Before dating these women it’s nice to learn basic phrases in their language. This will give them a good impression about you and will give you an edge. What’s more attractive than a man who made an effort learning the language, right? You also need to learn about their culture and adjust. This is really important because your practices may not be acceptable for them. This will also show that you respect the girl and their culture as well and never forget, BE A GENTLEMAN. Despite what women believe in and despite their culture and language differences, all women want to date a guy who is respectful and has principles.

People often say there’s no such thing as forever. Couples break-up and people give up. But love actually lasts if you make it last. It depends on how a person handles a relationship.

DON’T BE SELFISH

When you’re in a relationship, you always have to meet halfway with your partner. Learn how to give and take. Keep in mind that it’s a two-way process. You know what they say, it takes two to tango. In other words, think about your partner too.

BE CONSISTENT

The problem with some people, they stop doing the things to get them once they have them. Just because you’ve been together for a long time, doesn’t mean you’ll stop doing the things you did before. BE CONSISTENT! Open the door for her, make your partner smile and take your partner on a date.

DO SOMETHING SPECIAL

Show him you love him/her by doing something special once in a while. Cook for your partner, ask how his/her day went. Remind your partner everyday that you love him/her

BE OPEN

Honesty should always be present in a relationship. Tell him/her why you’re mad. Tell him/her if you’re pissed off. Being open will also help you know each other more.

Listen to what your partner has to say. Learn to listen to each other’s side of the story and try to understand and prevent miscommunication.

Lastly, what it takes to get someone is EFFORT and what it takes to keep someone is EFFORT.

Relationships don’t have to end if both of you will try
